Relaxed Joe Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I have a 2002 Tiger River Sumatran spa. The GFI started tripping ever so often then tripping all the time. The power stayed on when I disconnected the lead to the heater, knowing my spa was so old I bought a Laing Infinity heater. To my surprise the breaker is still tripping. I'm getting 115 v at the heater's terminal and about 15 ohms. What could be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Hot Tub Repair Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Is your spa a 115V plug in or 230V hard wired? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relaxed Joe Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I hope someone can give me some advice on this cuz I'm running out of options. Previously my GFI was tripping when the heater was hooked up so naturally I thought the heater was bad. I bought a new Watkins No-Fault to replace my old one. I still experienced GFI tripping. I pulled my heater control panel and I didn't see any shorts. So I assumed it was my control and hi-temp thermistors, replaced them and now my GFI is not tripping but the "Ready" indicator light is blinking indicating the hi-temp sensor is malfunctioning. Do you think it is my main control board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Hot Tub Repair Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Doees your no fault heater have a hi limit reset? It would be a tiny button, about the thickness of a lollipop stick, mounted on one end of the heater. If so, push it in and reset the breaker.

Relaxed Joe Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks for the reply. No, the new heater does not have a reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
